WASHINGTON, D. c., May 81, 1887.
Senator Payne has not yet made e0v
recommendation to the President in
reference to the appointment OF an
Appraiser of Customs at Cincinnati to
succeed Mr.. NewbuTgh. The aDDlica'
tlOns and Endorsements Of fourteen
aspirants for the position are on file at
the White House, and IL Is understood
that as many more have been sent direct
to Senator Payne, at Cleveland, Ohio.
from Cincinnati. Others who had
papers on file with the President have
withdrawn them, and had them for
Warded to the Senator.
Most Of the papers OF applicants on
file here now we're sent In before the
selectiOn OF Mr.. NewbuTgh, when there
was Qnite scramble for the appoint
ment. II was stated at the White House
to-day that they were waiting on Sena-
tor Payne to recommend some ore for
the appOIn tment, but, as he seemed slow
to act, no idea could be given as to
when the vacancy would probably be
filled.
OF those who have papers on file here
Hon. ]. b. Thompson has the largest
number Of letters Of recommendation.
There are fOrty-three letters on file for
Mr.. Thompson, including one that ought
to have secured him the appointment
when Mr.. Newburgh was selected. This
letter is from Senator Payne, and In his
own handwriting.

Said prominent Democratic Chief of
Division In one Of the Departments here
to an e. QuiTer representative: II tell
you, the Republicans get the best OF the
Democrats every time when they come
under the operation of the Civil Service
laws. The rules are so constructed and
construed that the Republicans, with
all the aid they have on the inside, al
ways have the best show. Take my d.
vision, for instance, since I have been
chief.
II have had appointed to the dlvlsioD,
under the Civil Service rule, FIVE clerks.
Out Of the FIVE four are Republicans,
and three Of them are the mesnest and
bItterest Republicans / ever heard talk.
Again, l notice that the Democrats who
are appointed to positions below the
Civil Service grade and assigned to do
clerical work are almost invariably able
to do better work than the young clerks
who come to us through the Civil Ser-
vice Commission. / noticed few days
ago that nephew Of Ex Speaker Keller
Of Ohio was appointed to position In
the PtnsiOn Bureau under the Civil Ser
vice rules"

What has become of the toothsome
spare rib we used 10 hear SO much about
in our infancy?' repeated a Madison
street butcher as he boosted hind quar-
ter of beef upon block The spare rib,
my friend, has been tabooed in the north
For years and years it was looked upon
with high favor as dainty morsel for a
Sunday dinner and Thanksgiving feast,
but of late years there has been little or
no demand for the 'superfiuous bone
The rest Of the porker, however, finds
ready sale in our markets. Throw the
spare ribs away? Oh, bless you, no.
Ever hear of butcher fiinging anything
away? No, no. The spare ribs are shipped
south by the car load, where they are
highly priced by the negro. Being almost
as succulent and savory as 'possum or
coon, the oolored people have little trouble
in ekeing out a pretty fair sort of living
off the despised rib, which is sold to them
at a very moderate price, Chicago
